Open thread: Is AIDS contagious?
Is HIV positivity?
As always with open threads, if I don’t have any engagement within a day or so I’ll delete the thread. My question today is: Do you think the phenomenon of AIDS (acquired immune deficiency) is, or could possibly be caused by a transmissible agent? (Please note that transmissible agents are not limited to viruses and bacteria; consider funguses and parasites.) What about the phenomenon of HIV positivity? Could it be caused by a transmissible agent? And if not, what is causing these phenomena? Go.

I was diagnosed HIV positive in 2006 and lived without ARV for about 17 years. But in March 2023 I was diagnosed with cancer(not sure it is HIV related) and started ARV along with the Chemo and Radiation therapy. It has been 4 months since I started ARV and I want to stop taking the drugs because the drug I gave me hyperlipidemia.(I got other light side effects too but they are endurable)Right before I started my ARV my CD4 count was 33 which is extremely low.If HIV doesn’t exist why my CD4 count is so low compared to other normal people?During 17 years I believed that the HIV theory was all a lie because I was kind of living evidence.But now, I am so confused and hope to find the right answer.Is there anyone who can help me with this?
Viruses as defined have never been proven to exist.
So no.
